This was a really nice light meal. Vegetarian too. Who would have thought it? Meatless Saturday night. I’ve only eaten one meat meal today and that was lunch when I had some smoked salmon on VitaWeat. I also had some low fat vegemite too.

For breakfast I had low fat yoghurt with some raspberries.

So how do you feel about low fat food? Do you like quinoa and kale?

    1. My maternal grandparents owned sugar cane farms in Bundaberg. I am a big supporter of the sugar industry 🙂 I’ve always loved Golden Syrup.

  1. Oooh yum yum yum that looks light, healthy and delicious – plus vegetarian which is just perfect for me!

    Great photos too,

    1. I think it’s the nutty sort of taste and the look that appeals to me Gail. Couscous is a little bland to me.
